Full

-year to 31 March 2018

EROAD (NZX:ERD) today reports record sales and profit growth for the year ended 31 March 2018. Four

consecutive quarters of record sales growth drove profitability in ANZ business, and in North America EROAD

capitalised on the Federal Government ELD mandate to drive record sales volumes.

Chairman Michael Bushby said the board was pleased to see EROAD had now established a credible

beachhead in North America, providing strategic options for future growth and development in this highly

attractive market.

“The hard work that has gone into developing a best-in-class ELD solution that allows us to address the US-

wide opportunity has paid off with annual growth of 191% in North America. We have begun planning for our

next phase of growth in North America, which may involve deeper strategic partnerships, and have engaged

First NZ Capital to help us with this work,” Mr Bushby said.

Strong growth in the ANZ business has been driven by increased penetration in light vehicle fleets and

continued focus on health and safety. While EROAD is the world leader in RUC (road user charges) collection

technology, it is also now a strong player in the broader telematics industry.

To support further growth, the company secured a new credit facility from BNZ to fund in-vehicle hardware

and raised $21.5 million of new capital, $15.5 million through an equity placement to existing and new

institutional shareholders and $6 million through a Share Purchase Plan for existing retail shareholders. The

proceeds from the equity raise are primarily being used to assist with changes in processes and systems to

improve customer experience and efficiencies and new business opportunities.

The company achieved a sales and customer support scale-up of many multiples this year, and in a number of

quarters carried out more sales and customer onboarding than entire previous years. This proved extremely

challenging and the business learned a great deal from this rapid growth. EROAD is continuing to implement

improvements arising from these lessons to ensure sustainable ongoing growth at scale.

In New Zealand EROAD continued expansion into light commercial vehicles and existing customer fleets,

including some of its major enterprise customers. EROAD rounded out its portfolio of health and safety

products with new driver and vehicle safety features to support record growth, and introduced charging for

the new features.

Total Contracted Units rose to 77,600, representing a 61.5% increase on last year. The company maintained a

high customer retention rate of 98% and the proportion of customers renting EROAD’s hardware, rather than

purchasing hardware outright, in Fy18 was 90%.

Future Contracted Income (FCI) reached $92.8 million in FY18, up from $59.9 million last year, driven by the

high number of contracts for renewal, a high renewal rate and strong sales growth.

Chief Executive Officer Steven Newman said, “We have continued to strengthen our leading position in

Australia and New Zealand; with sales in the second half of the year surpassing our previous sales record in

the first half of the year. In North America, our investment in our ELD solution and sales team helped deliver a

191% increase in sales. Our North American business is now close to cash flow breakeven on a monthly basis.”

The company continued to build on its track record of innovation and disruption, with the first tethered in-cab

ELD solution to be registered with the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration) and the first

independently verified ELD to be launched to the North American market. The quality of its ELD development

was recognised in New Zealand where it won Project of the Year at the Project Management Institute of NZ

(PMINZ) Awards.


Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)

The company’s business in ANZ recorded four consecutive record sales quarters.

EROAD continued to increase its share of RUC in New Zealand, collecting 42% of all heavy vehicle RUC, up

from 38% in 2017 and 81% of all eRUC (electronic RUC). In June 2017, a major milestone was reached, with

eRUC payments in New Zealand overtaking paper RUC payments for the first time. At the end of Fy18 EROAD

had collected $1.9 billion in RUC since it began offering its services to customers.

An additional 7,863 units were added in ANZ in the first half of FY18, a record that was surpassed in the

second half of the year, with a further 10,041 units added. These 17,904 additional units in ANZ amounted to

42.7% annual growth in what is still a growing market.

A key driver for growth in ANZ was increased penetration into key enterprise fleets, many of which followed

up installation of EROAD in their heavy vehicles with light vehicles to meet health and safety obligations.

“Our focus on solving complex problems for our customers applies to light as well as heavy vehicles,” Mr

Newman said. “Both are subject to the same health and safety requirements, and are discovering that

preventative safety is key to improving road safety and compliance – as well as reducing costs.”

A new trend in customer contract terms had a significant impact on the FY18 result, with approximately 40%

of new unit sales being contracted for terms in excess of the standard 36 months, being either 48- or 60-

month contracts. These longer-term contracts reflect customer preferences and are often linked to vehicle

lease terms. Economically, longer-term contracts are a positive outcome for the business. It does, however,

change the accounting treatment for these contracts with many of these longer-term contracts being

required to be treated as a finance lease. This results in the revenue and costs associated with the lease (e.g.

cost of the hardware, installation, activation and costs of acquisition) needing to be recognised on the

commencement of the lease, rather than monthly over the life of the lease as is normally the case. This

change in contracted terms has resulted in finance lease revenue in FY18 of $5.8 million (FY17: $0.8 million).

The majority of sales in Australia continued to be mainly New Zealand customers with Australian operations.

EROAD’s Australian solution continued to focus on health and safety and fleet management requirements.

The move towards road charging reform is gathering momentum: the Australian Federal Government

announced in December a heavy vehicle charging pilot in response to the potential rapid adoption of electric

vehicles in the freight sector. EROAD is well-positioned to support and participate in this trial, drawing on its

experience with road charging pilot programmes in Oregon and California.



North America

The ELD mandate significantly changed the landscape for EROAD in North America, delivering record sales

results. As motor carriers prepared their fleets for the December 2017 compliance deadline, EROAD unit sales

grew 59.6% in the first half of FY18, and 82.4% in the second half of the year when the mandate came into

force.



Page 4 eroad.co.nz

During an initial soft enforcement period in Q1 of calendar year 2018, as motor carriers incorporated the

technology into their operations, EROAD continued to attract new customers due to the quality of its

solution. The company’s investment in R&D, as well as its decision to develop a tethered device and to have it

independently verified by PIT Group, have helped differentiate it in the market.

“We were very pleased when we submitted our ELD for review to an independent website, eldratings.com, to

have it rated third in the market,” Mr Newman said. EROAD’s ELD is also the only device in the top five on the

site with a five-star customer rating.

EROAD’s reputation with trucking associations and regulators has helped to strengthen EROAD’s position in

an evolving ELD market. The EROAD ELD was one of four devices that FMCSA provided to the US

Department of Transportation’s National Training Center for training of inspectors and investigators.

Following the company’s participation in the largest road charging pilot to date in North America, the

California Road Charge Pilot, EROAD was invited to participate in the first multi-state truck pilot, which will

explore the feasibility of a Mileage-Based User Fee along the United States’ eastern seaboard.

Interest in North America in exploring distance-based road user charging was demonstrated for the first time

at a federal level in March 2018 with the annual Economic Report of the President proposing replacing the fuel

tax with a user fee.

EROAD followed the launch of its ELD in FY18 with a DVIR (driver vehicle inspection reports) solution, EROAD

Inspect, available on the same Ehubo2 in-vehicle device as its ELD and tax solution. Customer uptake of

Inspect has been significant, with close to 200,000 vehicle inspections completed in the first three months.

Mr Newman said the company was pleased with record sales growth in North America in FY18. However, to

continue to improve its growth trajectory, EROAD has appointed First NZ Capital to assist with a strategic

review of the North American business.


Outlook for FY19

The growth in units this year has put the company on a stronger financial footing, and the experiences gained

from a rapid scale-up in sales and customer support means EROAD is in a good position for the year ahead,

said Mr Newman.

This came at a time when the global trend towards electronic road user charging as an alternative to fuel

taxes was accelerating due to the commercialisation of electric trucks and vans, which will rapidly and

severely impact fuel tax-based road funding, he said.

In addition, a parallel trend of addressing driver fatigue and improving road safety was promoting the growth

of regulatory telematics, said Mr Newman. The mandated use of electronic logging devices in North America

was part of a global move to better manage fatigue in the transport industry.

“EROAD is well positioned to meet both these opportunities,” he said.

Mr Newman said the company expected continued solid growth in its New Zealand business, with further

adoption of telematics by light commercial fleets to meet health and safety requirements, and customers

continuing to upgrade from Ehubo1 (its first-generation in-vehicle hardware device) to Ehubo2. He said signs

were promising in Australia that more significant opportunities were on the way, particularly with changes to

chain of responsibility laws due to be introduced in FY19.

He said that while EROAD was pleased its North American sales growth appeared to be on track, the

company was well aware it can still do better and was progressing with strategic opportunities in North

America.

The ELD market will continue to deliver sales growth, Mr Newman said, both from carriers using AOBRDs

(automatic onboard recording devices), who have until December 2019 to transition to ELDs, and those

looking to overcome challenges they have encountered with faulty connections and poor customer service

from other telematics providers. The company was further refining its sales distribution and customer success

processes to enable it to support larger customers seeking a compliant ELD solution. It was also

strengthening its North American leadership team to support future growth.

“Our successful capital raise, combined with our re-negotiated credit facility with BNZ, means that EROAD is

well-placed to fund continued growth and expansion of its business to capitalise on these considerable

opportunities,” Mr Newman said.


Dividend

Consistent with its Dividend Policy, EROAD does not intend to pay a final dividend for the year ended

31 March 2018.

FY18 Balance Sheet (NZ$m)

Total Assets

grew to

$112.8 m

Primarily driven by

increased working

capital, high number of

new contracts and

capital raise

KEY POINTS

•Cash– proceeds from capital raise has

increased cash by $20.8 million after fees,

increased borrowings allowed funding of

leased assets and utilisationof cash for

operations.

•Trade receivables – increased significantly

due to increased number of rental contracts it

was also impacted by some teething

problems, associated with growth and billing

systems leading to some identified

improvements with collections, these are

being addressed with improved systems and

resourcing.

•Intangibles – the increase in Development &

Software capitalised of $6.6 million offset in

large part by amortisation of $5.6 million.

•Other assets – primarily relates to finance

lease receivables increases of $3.4 million and

deferred tax $1.8 million.

•DeferredRevenue - down as a result of

reduced use of external financing company,

replaced by bank debt facility.

KEY POINTS

•Cash– proceeds from capital raise has increased cash by $20.8 million after fees, increased borrowings

allowed funding of leased assets and utilisationof cash for operations.

•Cash utilisation –In the last six months the cash from operations has been sufficient to fund our R&D

and systems spend, a turnaround from prior years. This despite a significant increase in working capital

particularly for funding Ehuboinventory and Trade receivables increased significantly due to the impact

of some teething problems, associated with growth and billing systems leading to some identified

improvements with collections, these are being addressed with improved systems and resourcing.
